We are running a configuration in one mikrotik
but we have an older backup in the file
we want to read that backup file in a text file so we can compare the two configuration without loading the older backup
Can we do that??
or there is a way to this?
Thank´s in advanced

Hi,

if we export the /backup file, where would it be save? and how to do the saving to flash, hdd, etc?

Hi frens

yes you can export and it stay in the file menu, than use dragNdrop from your winbox or download/upload by ftp program application with your local machine...or make backup and schedule by script than send it to your own email address.

check it out of your file here by cli regards

I tried this sometimes ago but have no head way! Let us know if it work.

What i ended up doing was to load it on a less busy router board, got what i want and then restore the original config back to the board and was even faster and easier. Another way is if you dont have an idle board/OS, is to run the demo license on a hdd or bootable flash and restore it on that, get ur desired info and wipe.

Hi All

Has anyone tried any of the following sites in this regard
http://mtbackup.net/

MTBackup does indeed save pure text config (which is very handy)
